Line 3:
A comic, television series and video game about a green rabbit (well, a hare) who fights to protect the Aniverse from the scourge of the evil Toad Empire. Created by [[Larry Hama]], with help from [[Michael Golden]] and [[Neal Adams]]. It should not be confused with [[
----
{{franchisetropes}}
* [[Action Girl]] - Jenny and, to a lesser extent if only due to lack of screen time, Mimi LaFloo
Line 11:
* [[Arch Enemy]] - The Toad Air Marshal sees himself as Bucky's, though really Bucky and Toadborg are a closer fit.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]] - First a comic book, then the cartoon, then one video game, and finally a second one meant to end the series.
* [[
* [[All There in the Manual]] - The name of Bucky's [[The Obi-Wan|mysterious mentor]], Damaron Jabok, is given in a promotional booklet for an abandoned second season and further toyline.
* [[All There in
** Jeff and Mark (the other two bullies with Doug)
** Bob (the gray hare in "Home, Swampy, Home")
Line 24:
* [[Awesome but Impractical]] - The toy version of the Toad Croaker. While in the show, games, and comic it was presented as more or less a one man recon vehicle, the toy was altered slightly to look like a left shoe, complete with treads on its bottom. The reason was so that kids would use it to smash it down onto Toad Trooper action figures, "stepping" on them... Needless to say the toads' own Double Bubble didn't come anywhere close to this level of awesome.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Many characters had these but Rumble Bee stands out.
* [[Badass Boast]]: This is BRUISER, the [[
* [[Badass Damsel]]: Jenny, to an extreme level. This was taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the episode "The Taking Of Pilot Jenny".
* [[Batman Gambit]] - A beautiful one was used by the good guys in "The Taking of Pilot Jenny" which succeeded in freeing the captured planet Warren.
* [[Berserk Button]] - Call Toadborg a robot. Double dare ya. Watch what happens. Oh, and don't insinuate that he was just a worker before being converted into a cyborg, rather than a warrior.
** Alternatively, interfere with Bruiser's brother Bruce's attempts to return home and learn why they're called BERSERKER Baboons.
* [[Big Bad]] - Komplex.
Line 47:
* [[Darker and Edgier]] - The webseries continuing this show most definitely dove into this area, for the better some would say.
* [[Day in The Limelight]] - After "War of the Warts" every crew member of the Righteous Indignation got a least one episode in which to shine, sometimes two.
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Brother]]: Bruce to Bruiser.}}
* [[The Dragon]] - Toadborg, to Komplex.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Bruiser falls into the role (or at least a kid-friendly version of it) quite easily, when he is a guest instructor at the Betelgeusian military academy. His mother is very proud of him.
Line 54:
** Also used in a flashback in the second episode.
* [[The Empire]] - And one populated by amphibians no less.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Bruiser's not evil, but he is a badass. And he loves his mother very much.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]] - The Toad Air Marshal, even after Komplex fires him in one episode.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[The Faceless]] - All of the human adults are shown from the neck down. The only humans whose faces we see are kids.
* [[Faceless Goons]] - Pretty much all of the toads except for the Toad Air Marshal.
Line 76:
** [[The Big Guy]] - Split between Bruiser and Deadeye. Bruiser provides size and muscle, Deadeye brings the firepower.
** [[The Chick]] - Oddly enough the characters will actually rotate this job, though it usually falls on Jenny or Willy when they're not otherwise occupied.
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]] - Toadborg wants the defense codes or he'll jettison Bucky, Jenny and Deadeye into space. Willy faces a moral dilemma. Does he destroy the disks containing the codes, or give them up to save his friends? At Bucky's insistence he smashes them, to Toadborg's fury....until Al Negator turns up with a copy of the codes. Oops.
* [[Frothy Mugs of Water]] - Former pirate Gunner Deadeye Duck's favored drink? Swamp Grass.
* [[Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal|Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals]] - All the furry characters.
* [[Fun
* [[
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Toadborg.
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]] - Bucky's aviator cap has a pair of large goggles that he never pulls down over his eyes.
Line 86:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Deadeye.
* [[Hero of Another Story]] - Commander Dogstar in the TV-series.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]] - Jenny. It's the voice that helps A LOT with this.
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Felicia to Jenny.
* [[Holding Out for
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Jenny to Felicia.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] - The Toad Air Marshal. He sees himself as Bucky's arch-nemesis but Bucky seems to view him as little more than an annoyance.
Line 94:
* [[Informed Ability]] - The Toad Air Marshal is forever talking about his accomplishments and skills, but for the run of the series he's much more of joke character than anything else. Of course, considering the only guy in the entire Empire who seems remotely competent is in a higher position than him and above that is a super-computer, maybe he really is the best Komplex could get for the job.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Implied between Bucky and Jenny, and also Mimi to a certain degree.
* [[Invisible Advertising]] - Probably the biggest reason this franchise is so obscure. Seriously, did anyone see any advertising for any aspect of it?
* [[Jerkass]] - Vice-Chairman Grebb.
** Toad Air Marshal also.
Line 100:
* [[Lady Land]]: Jenny's home planet Aldeberan seems to be this.
* [[Large Ham]]: In-universe example: Bruiser's TV appearances are GLORIOUSLY hammy.
* [[Lovable Nerd]]: Willy.
* [[Magitek]] - Depending on how you view the powers of the Artificers of Aldebaran, this describes the sensors of the Righteous Indignation.
* [[Married to
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Most of the characters had these.
* [[The Mole]] - Chairman Harman turns out to be [[Mobile Suit Human|a tiny newt controlling a robot body]].
* [[Momma's Boy]]: Bruiser.
* [[Morally
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]] - Deadeye. Again.
* [[The Napoleon]] - The Toad Air Marshal, swagger stick and all.
Line 139:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]] - While the toads that recklessly fly into the Deadeye's general area might count, they're [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] as an excuse. The United Animal Security Council, on the other hand, seems almost actively trying to get wiped out by the Toad Empire.
** Also Frix and Frax, to an insane level.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Trigger Happy]] - Deadeye solves every problem by shooting at it.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]] - The Void-Droid - very powerful, but not [[Kill It
{{quote|
'''Frax''': [[Captain Obvious|But not waterproof]]! }}
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]] - The toads and pretty much every non-mammalian species in the show, apart from birds of course.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]] - Toads, with the exception of Toadborg, fears the berserker baboons.
** Though initially upon meeting Willy...

Toadborg: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Ah! A Betelgeusian Berserker Baboon! Stay back! Help!]] }}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Jenny's apprentice Felicia has this.
